Diagnostic Aids

If this DTC is set along with DTC P0300, it may represent an invalid misfire due to a loss of rough road data.

Several Antilock Brake ABS system problems could cause a loss of rough road indication from the EBTCM. All Antilock Brake System/Traction Control System (ABS/TCS) system problems and DTCs should be corrected first. Then duplicate the conditions under which DTC P1380 set and see if the problem reoccurs.

Test Description

2. If this DTC is set current, refer to ABS diagnosis and diagnose any EBTCM related (ABS/TCS) DTCs before diagnosing any PCM DTCs. If no EBTCM DTCs are present, perform the ABS System Check.
3. If this DTC is history, check for any current or history EBTCM DTCs and diagnose those before diagnosing any PCM DTCs.
